Chapter 177 Declaration of Sovereignty
Chapter 177 Declaration of Sovereignty
Others all think that Chu Beiqing has a peerless appearance and unparalleled charm that makes people admire and yearn for him.
Or they may be so powerful and invincible that people admire them and feel at ease.
But Yuqi felt that His Royal Highness King Qing was the God and Demon Lord, and that being suspected by the God and Demon Lord would not end well.
Although the prince had never punished them, she was extremely afraid of him.
Yan Qingning's composure faltered when she heard that. Yes, she was worried that Chu Beiqing would misunderstand her.
The person she least wants to face right now is Chu Beiqing.
What the truth is is secondary. There is also the issue of trust.
"What did your Highness misunderstand? Isn't there the Eighth Prince here now?
What could he misunderstand about me? Besides, I am honest and have done nothing wrong, so I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. I will explain it to him when the time comes. If he doesn’t believe me, it’s up to him.”
Yan Qingning didn't know whether she was comforting Yuqi or comforting herself.
"But……"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Your Majesty doesn't care about this. By the way, I'm about to leave Prince Qing's Mansion. When I return, I will find a way to get your indenture back for you."
Yan Qingning decisively diverted Yuqi's attention and told her about this matter.
This was what she had promised Yuqi a long time ago.
I just haven't found the right opportunity.
"What? Master, are you really with Prince Rui..." Yuqi was shocked. "My ancestors were really too bold...
"Stop!" Yan Qingning glared at Yuqi, "What are you thinking about? Have you forgotten? I made the decision at the beginning!"
Yuqi suddenly remembered and said, "But you and the prince..."
Yan Qingning poked her forehead and said, "Nothing can stop my wings from flying."
Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then realized the key point belatedly, and his face changed, "Are you going to abandon me?" Yuqi suddenly became anxious.
He knelt down beside her, his face flushed with anxiety, "Master, isn't it good for you to stay with the prince?"
After being a maid for so many years, Yuqi finally felt that her hard work had paid off. Now, wherever she goes, people call her Sister Yuqi.
She had just tasted the sweetness of being a favored concubine and a maidservant, but she didn't expect to hear such a bolt from the blue!
Yuqi couldn't accept it.
In the past, we were always living in fear, but now it’s great to be able to live a stable life.
Yuqi feels that her requirements are really not high!
Yan Qingning lowered her voice and said quickly: "Listen to me. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay with me. I mean you can come and go freely."
Yuqi felt something was wrong after hearing this. Was it really as simple as Yan Qingning said?
She felt a little unreal.
Yan Qingning couldn't help but feel secretly lucky.
She felt even more grateful to Cheng Wanshuang. Fortunately, the Eighth Prince was here, otherwise, with only her and Chu Yuanli here, it would be hard to explain.
Now she seemed to be able to speak with more confidence in front of Chu Beiqing.
Yan Qingning peeked through the gap in the screen.
Speaking of which, it’s strange, why is she afraid of Chu Beiqing?
What does she have to feel guilty about?
She understood this principle, but she just couldn't stop it, and she felt helpless.
Chu Yuanli and Chu Rongyue stood side by side, looking at the stairs with different expressions.
In just a moment, Chu Beiqing, dressed in a black robe, stepped up slowly.
The man has deep features and a three-dimensional face.
His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his steps were steady and powerful, like a jade or a scepter. The noble and domineering aura of a king came over him forcefully, making people feel a little fear for no reason.
Chu Beiqing's dark eyes swept across, but he did not see the little woman.
As soon as Chu Beiqing received the news that Yan Qingning was injured, he tracked her down.
"Are your legs okay?!" Chu Yuanli's words almost spilled out from between his teeth. Looking at Chu Beiqing walking as usual without any effort, his eyes were filled with gloom.
"Sixth brother, are your legs healed?" Chu Rongyue was surprised to see this.
When he saw the other person's expression, his eyelids twitched a few times, and then he hurried forward to explain, "Sixth Brother, listen to me, we are..."
"Where is Yan Qingning?" Chu Beiqing had no intention of answering anyone and went straight to the point.
Yan Qingning, who was behind the screen, felt tense all over and her eyes darted around after hearing this. She quickly thought about whether she should go out now or jump into the water.
Before she could think clearly, she saw Chu Rongyue, the incompetent fellow, pointing in the direction of the floor-standing screen, "Right there..."
Chu Beiqing walked forward slowly.
The footsteps are neither fast nor slow, but they make a loud sound!
Every sound seemed to step on Yan Qingning's heart.
Yan Qingning felt that she had missed the best opportunity to leave, or in other words, why did she come in?
She obviously did nothing!
Alas, Yan Qingning sighed worriedly. After talking for a long time, she still didn't want to offend Chu Beiqing.
So, as long as she lives under someone else's roof, she will feel insecure!
However, just as Chu Beiqing was passing by Chu Yuanli, an arm suddenly crossed in front of him, "Wait!"
Chu Beiqing paused slightly, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at the owner of the arm indifferently, "What do you mean!"
"Aning will not go with you!" Chu Yuanli said firmly.
He is the same age as Chu Beiqing, born only a few months apart, and quickly became comparable among his brothers.
Even black and white skin, fat and thin body, tall and short have become topics of comparison for others.
And wherever he went, all he heard was how Chu Beiqing was better than him.
Ironically, when Chu Beiqing was stronger than him when he was young, it became a reason for his mother to scold him.
It was in this wave of noise that Chu Yuanli became Chu Beiqing's foil. He stood behind him the entire time, looking up at him all the way to the Imperial College.
Chu Beiqing is a man of both civil and military talents, quick-witted and decisive in killing.
Then he will learn from the elegant celebrities, humble gentlemen, and the gods and immortals who cannot be blasphemed.
Finally, his efforts were not in vain, and he had a place in front of his father.
At that time, Chu Beiqing had regrettable flaws, and his title of the First Young Master was also controversial.
The years that Chu Beiqing was away from the capital were the happiest times of Chu Yuanli's life.
Yan Qingning's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She was very surprised. What nonsense was this bastard talking about?
"Get out of here!" Chu Beiqing's eyes were as deep as the ocean.
In an instant, an overwhelming murderous aura emanated from him, making people feel a chill down their spine for no reason.
Chu Yuanli clenched his hands in his sleeves. That was it. He always acted as if they were not worthy of being his opponents and looked down on everyone!
"Heh, King Qing hid himself well enough to deceive all of us.
I just wonder what my father would think if he knew about this?" Chu Yuanli's eyes sparkled, "If you leave now, I can pretend that I didn't see you today... and Ning'er will never return to Prince Qing's Mansion."
Chu Yuanli's seemingly simple words actually contain multiple meanings.
First it was a test, then a threat, and finally an implied deal.
He wanted Yan Qingning, and if Chu Beiqing wanted to compete with him, he would go to his father and accuse him of having ulterior motives.
Otherwise, why pretend to be disabled?
What does he want to do by hiding his intentions?
Chu Rongyue on the side was stunned when he heard this. He felt that Chu Yuanli's expression was not right today, as if he was different from before.
Chu Beiqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, icy cold to the bone, and he opened his thin lips slightly, "It's not your turn to decide whether Aning returns to Prince Qing's Mansion or not."
